The bitcoin price<\/a> has dropped by up to 5.80 percent from its recent peak of $8,947. But the cryptocurrency’s least-awaited downtrend has still not begun, according to Josh Rager.<\/p>\n

The prominent cryptocurrency analyst said on Tuesday that bitcoin’s next downside correction is still a couple of months away owing to its past behaviors. Rager noted that bitcoin takes an average of 98 days to initiate big pullbacks in an uptrend. The cryptocurrency’s last significant price correction took place on May 17, which means it has at least three months to continue its bullish action.<\/p>\n

“While we can’t base everything on one historical uptrend, we do know that pullbacks will come. But, with institutions in the market now & battling for position, we may not see a major pullback (30%) for a while (July or August),” said Rager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mid-$9,000 for Next Bitcoin Pullback<\/h2>\n

The open-ended bitcoin price boom took encouragements from a chain of recent headlines showing greater interest in the cryptocurrency industry. At first, Fidelity Investments and TD Ameritrade in April expressed<\/a> their plans to offer bitcoin trading services to their clients in separate announcements. Later, AT&T, a US-based telecommunication firm, stated that it would permit customers to pay their phone bills in bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Peter Brandt, a well-recognized trader, said investors are purchasing bitcoin out of FOMO, a backronym for fear-of-missing-out. The analyst believed the cryptocurrency would extend its price rally before “the majority of sold-out crypto bulls capitulate.”<\/p>\n

Rager developed the theory into a level that could attract maximum capitulation in the near-term. He referred to a so-called “meme triangle” pattern \u2014 symmetrical triangle \u2014 which earlier hosted bitcoin’s previous breakout action. The height of the triangle was just shy of $1,5o0 which, according to textbook descriptions, settled bitcoin’s upside target $1,500 higher from the point of breakout ($8,150 on Coinbase exchange).<\/p>\n

“I’ll continue to be bullish on BTC until we hit between the $9400 to $9700 area (even if BTC retraces to $8400),” said Rager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alex Kr\u00fcger, a global market analyst, also noted that bitcoin has little resistance over $8,500, which could make its course towards the price target of $9,000-price target \u2014 or even $10,000 \u2014\u00a0much easier.<\/p>\n
